Overview

Foreword by Dr. Asad Madni, C. Eng., Fellow IEEE, Fellow IEE

Learn the fundamentals of RF and microwave electronics visually, using many thoroughly tested, practical examples

RF and microwave technology are essential throughout industry and to a world of new applications-in wireless communications, in Direct Broadcast TV, in Global Positioning System (GPS), in healthcare, medical and many other sciences. Whether you're seeking to strengthen your skills or enter the field for the first time, Radio Frequency and Microwave Electronics Illustrated is the fastest way to master every key measurement, electronic, and design principle you need to be effective. Dr. Matthew Radmanesh uses easy mathematics and a highly graphical approach with scores of examples to bring about a total comprehension of the subject. Along the way, he clearly introduces everything from wave propagation to impedance matching in transmission line circuits, microwave linear amplifiers to hard-core nonlinear active circuit design in Microwave Integrated Circuits (MICs). Coverage includes:

  • A scientific framework for learning RF and microwaves easily and effectively
  • Fundamental RF and microwave concepts and their applications
  • The characterization of two-port networks at RF and microwaves using S-parameters
  • Use of the Smith Chart to simplify analysis of complex design problems
  • Key design considerations for microwave amplifiers: stability, gain, and noise
  • Workable considerations in the design of practical active circuits: amplifiers, oscillators , frequency converters, control circuits
  • RF and Microwave Integrated Circuits (MICs)
  • Novel use of "live math" in circuit analysis and design

Dr. Radmanesh has drawn upon his many years of practical experience in the microwave industry and educational arena to introduce an exceptionally wide range of practical concepts and design methodology and techniques in the most comprehensible fashion. Applications include small-signal, narrow-band, low noise, broadband and multistage transistor amplifiers; large signal/high power amplifiers; microwave transistor oscillators, negative-resistance circuits, microwave mixers, rectifiers and detectors, switches, phase shifters and attenuators. The book is intended to provide a workable knowledge and intuitive understanding of RF and microwave electronic circuit design.

Radio Frequency and Microwave Electronics Illustrated includes a comprehensive glossary, plus appendices covering key symbols, physical constants, mathematical identities/formulas, classical laws of electricity and magnetism, Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) examples and more.
